O’Hare airport, you know, I’ve said kind things about it here in the past,
but it’s developing an attitude problem.I flew in from Ottawa earlier this week. The plane was scheduled to leave
there at 5:40 PM and indeed there was a plane there at that time, waiting to
go. We were
informed that Chicago had put a three-hour delay on all incoming flights due
to weather. People around me were calling friends there who reported it
cold but clear. The pilot, equally pissed, was hanging with the passengers and
said he thought they were repairing a runway, or maybe it was just the ATC
union being ornery. This seems like bad behavior.Then, leaving Chicago, Homeland Security seized my toothpaste. The tube
that was carefully purchased in a size that’s legal to take on planes. Except
for, it wasn’t in a plastic bag. You see, 90ml of naked toothpaste is
dangerous and can be used in terrorist attacks, but putting it in a plastic
bag prevents this.Can we get some intelligent behavior out of our politicians please? This
moronic security theater is damaging our quality-of-life and arguably playing
into the actual terrorists’ hands.
